Addressing a UN Security Council briefing on non-proliferation, Minister Councilor Nguyen Phuong Tra, deputy chief representative of the Vietnam Mission to the UN, reaffirmed Vietnam’s consistent stance on supporting the non-proliferation and disarmament of weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons.  

Vietnam supports the UNSC’s Resolution 2231 and JCPOA, and called on relevant parties to seriously and fully implement the resolution and agreement, Tra stressed.

She called on parties concerned to exercise restraint, avoid actions that erode trust and escalate tensions, and focus on dialogue and negotiation to resolve differences.

Vietnam welcomes efforts to create an environment for dialogue and cooperation inside and outside the Security Council for peace, stability and development in the Middle East, she noted.
